When to stop giving baby with a milk and soy allergy formula?

We currently have my almost 10 month old (she'll be 10 months in 2 days) on Nutramigen and it seems to be the only one we've found that works for her. However, I've heard that by 1 year, you're supposed to stop giving them formula or even switch to a toddler formula. Nutramigen does not have a toddler formula though. So has anyone come across this issue? When do I get her off of the formula and what should I put her on?

Usually you switch to whole milk at 12 months. My daughter was on soy formula too and had no issues. But ask your doctor. I wouldn't continue with infant formula because by that age they are getting more nutrients from food, but if it is a true milk allergy you might have to try soy milk. Ask your doctor.
